The extra layer of tragedy in Omar Khadr's story is that he was left to rot in Guantanamo long enough that his deprivations don't count as revelations. By now, he is just another data point in the horrors that have come out of that place, even if he's an extreme one.
Arriving at the notorious detention centre at 16, he was the youngest prisoner — and last Westerner — to be subjected to techniques like "the human mop" — as revealed in Patrick Reed and Michelle Shepherd's documentary, it involved being forced to pee on the floor and then roll around in it to clean it up.
The details will be familiar to anyone who followed Khadr's journey: 15-year-old child soldier/Afghan courier to a 29-year-old survivor of torture puttering around a suburban Edmonton home. It's not worth rehashing it all here, though Guantanamo's Child makes a good, subtle case that very few of us sought many details on anything that went on in Afghanistan or Cuba. The original parts we get include an obviously shaken American interrogator wondering how he or anyone else could have behaved the way he did while effectively torturing a wounded child, a Guantanamo superior officer who bemoans his own role in what was essentially a kangaroo court to convict Khadr, and the man himself, almost disconcertingly equanimous while talking about his experience.
Reed and Shepherd do a reasonable job of injecting some level of balance into their straightforward retelling. They give time to American soldiers who make no bones about calling him a terrorist who killed their countrymen and let the likes of Stephen Harper and Vic Toews bluster through press conferences saying the same. They let his family weigh in with opinions that wouldn't sound entirely out of place coming from Taliban mouths, and detail his father's status as a power broker who never much concerned himself with the morality of the people he was dealing with (or making his son deal with).
Weighed against the testimony of fellow inmates, Khadr's fatherly lawyer Dennis Edney and the man himself, these only serve to drive home how ridiculous the people who opposed his release were: he was a child, and then we tortured him. As one of the men who spent time with him in prison puts plainly, it's very hard to claim the moral high ground when you do things like that.

SHORTLY after New Jersey's three-point loss to the Knicks on Tuesday, Paul Silas stood in the team's near-empty locker room reflecting on a new season. It was still a bit startling to think, he said, that for the first time in 13 years, a National Basketball Association season was beginning without Larry Bird and Earvin Johnson.
Bird retired in August; Johnson, after retiring last year and then coming back, apparently retired for good last week.
Silas, now an assistant coach with the Nets, spent 16 seasons as a player and said he couldn't remember a year when the N.B.A. had lost two of its major pillars.
"Russell finished in '69 and that was a big blow because the Celtics were always on top," Silas recalled. "But I can't think of a time when two players of such significance retired."
And so the N.B.A. is undergoing one of the most pivotal transitions in its 46-year history, but the most significant change will not take place on the court.Continue reading the main story
In that regard, Silas said, the league seems to be in good young hands.
Silas reflected on highlight films he had seen lately. In one sequence, Christian Laettner, the Minnesota Timberwolves' rookie forward, drove the baseline, then executed a smashing dunk off a reverse layup in traffic.
Then there is Shaquille O'Neal, the Orlando Magic's 7-foot-1-inch, 303-pound rookie center who has been nothing less than spectacular. In one highlight, O'Neal dribbled the length of the court and dunked on a fast break. In another, he dunked over three players and seconds later rejected what would have been a game-winning shot.
Silas went down the list of other young players: Larry Johnson, last year's N.B.A. rookie of the year; Steve Smith; Jimmy Jackson; in his own locker room there was Derrick Coleman, rookie of the year two seasons ago, and Kenny Anderson, the second-year guard.
But even as he admired the new talent, Silas wondered what role these young players would have in a world where athletes are no longer insulated from society's problems.
Many of them make more money in a year than some players in previous generations made during their entire careers. There are more perks, greater opportunities for exposure. But there is also greater opportunity -- and need -- for doing good outside of the arena.
At a time when the misery index of many inner cities is rising, hopelessness and misdirection becoming a way of life for increasing numbers of youth, Silas wondered if this new generation of millionaire athletes would be able to heal the scars.
Silas said that many, particularly black, players will discover that their newly achieved status precludes them from playing roles that some might like to play.
"I don't envy these kids," Silas said. "They're in a quandary because they don't really fit anywhere. They want to belong, they don't want to change because they want to be like their 'bros.' But they're not.
"But they don't fit in that other echelon either, in white society. They don't want that, so they're just kind of neutral. They don't fit anywhere.
"It's hard. They've got to be leery of everybody. They have to look at everybody for who they really are and for what they want from you. Like I said, I don't envy any of these kids because they're trying to find where they belong, and really they don't belong anywhere."
If Silas's observations are accurate, the N.B.A. has more than a fresh infusion of talent, but a generation of athletes who need to create a world in which they can enjoy the fruits of their profession without turning their back on their past.
Perhaps the new world can be achieved by establishing an association of professional athletes.
In light of Silas's observations, it is not unreasonable to assume that athletes, like their colleagues in law, medicine and journalism, need a group that serves as a conduit for collective expression of concerns over social and political matters.
Dick Barnett, the former New York Knick, attempted to establish a coalition of black professional athletes in the early 1970's. However, Barnett, who received his doctorate in education last year, said that narrow self-interest on the part of the players, and to an extent their lawyers, eroded the coalition after a few meetings.
Two decades later, will a wealthier and, conceivably, more enlightened generation of young professional athletes accept broader roles in a troubled society?
Or will it be content to pass, dribble and shoot while Rome burns?Continue reading the main story

I'm new to this forum. I've bought my first Seiko Chronograph and over time, change of batteries, water start to slip into the watch. It is not an expensive watch but its the Chime Alarm (2 tone alarm) that I just love. I was wondering if seiko 7t32-7e70 has the same Chime Alarm and if so where can I get it. If not, can anyone recommend other brand that have Chime Alarm, Chronograph and Green Dial.

A week from Thanksgiving….Written by: donnawitt62
Next week is Thanksgiving. What a nice holiday. No presents to buy just the promise of our favorites – family, food and friends ( and for my BFF Ida, football). Taking time to be thankful does us all good. Regardless of our situation, there is always something to be thankful for. If you are having a hard time thinking of something…remember there will be some who will have neither family nor friends nor food on the day of thanksgiving.
They say the man who has a friend is rich. I'm sure that applies to women too…this year I have been reminded of how rich I am…thank you to all my friends and family for your support.
Enjoy the day and all that you have to be thankful for.

I stay at the Atlantic a few times every summer and I have to say every time I come its getting worse.

Triathlon designed saddle.
Cover: Microfibre
Casing: nylon 12 charged with carbon fiber
Frame : AISI 304 stainless steel pipe
Weight : 376g
Dimensions : 257x164 mm
Center Channel: the result of extensive biomechanic studies on saddle positioning and on the structure of the human pelvis, it is distributed over the whole length of the saddle, from the rear to the tip. Irrespective of the position of the triathlete, it prevents compression of the perineal structures. It promotes very good aeration of the genital area and water drainage.
"Eagle Beak" Tip: The exclusive and patented configuration of the nose prevents crushing of the uro-genital area, even at the extremely low positions of the handlebars, typical of the triathlete, and also enables to safely and firmly park the bike on the bike parking tube frame at the transition area.
Rear Logo: the structure of the characteristic rear Selle SMP logo, with its peculiar reflecting properties, provides optimum support for the bike on the bike parking tube frame at the transition area, should the triathlete prefer rear positioning rather than the front one.
Frame Length: it offers the widest adjustment range available on the market, giving every person the possibility to identify the perfect position for them in terms of saddle advancement towards the handlebars, typical of triathlon.

With two weeks until Election Day, Asa Hutchinson today finally brings out an attack on Mike Beebe's handling of the corruption scandal involving his state Senate colleague Nick Wilson.
"[Beebe] claims to have fought Nick Wilson and his fellow band of thieves in the state Senate," Hutchinson said in a press release. "But Sen. Beebe's fight was a fight for power -- not a fight against the abuse of power.
"As Nick Wilson was stealing millions, Sen. Beebe did nothing to stop it. When the public demanded censure, Sen. Beebe opposed such action. And when the public demanded that these crooks be tossed out of the Senate after their convictions, Sen. Beebe opposed that action, too. That's not leadership; it's almost complicity."
Full release after the jump.
Hutchinson Challenges Beebe On Leadership Failures In Wilson Scandal
GOP Candidate Says Beebe Helped Protect Convicted Colleagues From Censure, Eviction From Senate
Little Rock, Ark. – Asa Hutchinson, the 2006 Republican nominee for Governor, today said his opponent, Mike Beebe, failed to put the interests of the public before his own as a member of the state Senate when a gang of colleagues bilked taxpayers and a state children's defense fund of millions of dollars.
In a Little Rock news conference, Hutchinson criticized Beebe for his failure to take a leading role in fighting Wilson as he defrauded the state of millions in taxpayer dollars. Despite Beebe's repeated claims to have challenged Senator Nick Wilson, Hutchinson said, the record shows that Beebe actually opposed efforts to discipline Wilson and others in his clique.
"Mr. Beebe has made criticism of my leadership a major issue of this campaign, so let's compare the tough jobs I have taken on to the tough jobs Mr. Beebe has ducked," Hutchinson said. "He claims to have fought Nick Wilson and his fellow band of thieves in the state Senate. But Sen. Beebe's fight was a fight for power -- not a fight against the abuse of power.
"As Nick Wilson was stealing millions, Sen. Beebe did nothing to stop it. When the public demanded censure, Sen. Beebe opposed such action," Hutchinson said. "And when the public demanded that these crooks be tossed out of the Senate after their convictions, Sen. Beebe opposed that action, too. That's not leadership; it's almost complicity."
Specifically, Hutchinson pointed out that:
1) As a Senator, Beebe is on the record voting to override Governor Mike Huckabee's veto of the legislation creating the scam defrauding the children's fund.
2) Beebe is on the record opposing public calls to censure Sen. Wilson, Sen. Mike Todd, and other colleagues who were members of the group involved in the scandal.
3) Beebe is on the record opposing public calls to evict his colleagues from the Senate even after they were convicted of felonies.
Hutchinson was referring to one of the most notorious political scandals in Arkansas history, which occurred during Beebe's tenure as a leader of the state Senate.
In 1997 a gang of state Senators led by Nick Wilson were caught bilking a state children's program and funneling the money to fellow legislators and lobbyists. As a result, the name "Nick Wilson" has since become virtually synonymous with corruption in Arkansas.
Legislation setting up the scandal was passed by the Legislature, but vetoed by Governor Huckabee. After Huckabee used his veto pen, Mike Beebe and his colleagues swiftly voted to override the veto.
This set the stage for Nick Wilson and fellow Senators to line their pockets with proceeds from what one newspaper article called "absurdly lucrative contracts," money meant to defend children in child custody cases. ("Periphery, Perception Plague Beebe," John Brummett, Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, 9/28/1997)
When the scandal was exposed, the public called upon leaders of the Senate, including Beebe, to censure their fellow Senators for their involvement in the scandal. Beebe publicly refused to take action, prompting the Little Rock newspaper to chastise Beebe for a failure of leadership and for encouraging public cynicism by putting a fellow member of "the club" ahead of the public good. ("The Untouchables: The Ledge Protects Its Own," Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, 12/28/9)
In fact, Beebe not only showed a failure of leadership, he went on to protect Sen. Wilson and his gang from censure. As public pressure for the Senate to act mounted, Beebe became even more resistant, publicly asserting that to take further action would be "un-American."
Beebe's strange comment prompted one columnist to ask: "What's un-American about ethics?" ("What's un-American about ethics," Paul Greenberg, Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, 12/09/97)
"When he was faced with the tough decision to censure a fellow member of the Senate, Sen. Beebe not only refused to do so but said it was 'un-American,'" Hutchinson said. "And after Sen. Wilson was actually convicted on felony charges, Sen. Beebe came to his defense by opposing calls to evict Wilson and his cronies from the Senate. Is this Mr. Beebe's idea of leadership? And can Arkansas afford this kind of leadership?"
After ducking action on the Wilson scandal for so long, it was not surprising that Sen. Beebe would continue to protect Nick Wilson and his gang even after they were convicted of felonies.
After the felony convictions were handed down, and Mike Beebe was the most powerful Senator still standing. He then opposed public calls for the Senate to expel his convicted colleagues from the Legislature.
Once again Sen. Beebe used bizarre logic and rhetoric to defend Wilson – asserting that to evict the convicted Senator from the legislative body would be like "running up the score" in a football game.
Unsurprisingly, Beebe's opposition to taking action against his colleagues prompted a blistering reaction from the media:
"Will Beebe uphold the Constitution if elected governor? We think not... The longer it takes Nick Wilson to clean out his desk at the state capitol, the more we learn about his colleagues. For example, Mike Beebe, Chairman of the Senate's Efficiency Committee and a real sport. He sees no need to expel Brother Wilson now that his convicted colleague says he's resigning at the end of the year.
"'To use a trite sports analogy,'" says Sen. Beebe, "'The score is 40 to nothing with a minute left in the game. Some coaches will want to score again, and some will take a knee. Each course says something about the coach.'"
"It's just a game, you see? Nick Wilson lost, so why not let him end it when and how he wants to end it? Curious state, Arkansas. Like others with a long, one-party history in these latitudes, it's a state where a game, at least if it's football or basketball, can attract the keenest scrutiny and deepest respect, as if it were a public trust, while government is treated like a game. Sen. Beebe's sports metaphor may be trite, but it's also revealing. Perhaps more revealing than he intended. There is talk from time to time of Mike Beebe's running for Governor someday. Do you think he'd enforce the rest of the State Constitution the same, loose way he would the part about no convicted felon's serving in the Legislature? What other part of his sworn duty would he treat like a game?" ("Two Quotes Tell The Story The Shame Of The Senate," Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, 11/23/1999)
"Leadership and longevity are not the same thing," said Hutchinson. "And, in the end, this campaign is about leadership. A guy can outlast others and stick around longer than anyone else, while avoiding taking leadership roles that may make him unpopular with others in the political machine. But Arkansans need a leader who won't put his personal political ambitions ahead of the public good. Why did Sen. Beebe override Gov. Huckabee's veto? Why did he oppose efforts to censure Nick Wilson and the others directly involved after they were caught? Why did he oppose efforts to evict them after they were convicted? These actions had a direct impact on the people of Arkansas, and voters deserve answers."

Hutchinson, a native of Gravette, is a former U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Arkansas, Member of Congress representing the state's Third District, head of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and the first-ever Undersecretary of Homeland Security. Hutchinson currently serves as CEO of the Hutchinson Group, a Little Rock consulting firm.

As late as last Saturday, May 24, Half Life Source reported that Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said the company would consider keeping Windows XP on the shelves longer than the expected June 30 end date.
I know, I know. This blog is supposed to be about alternatives to Windows operating systems. But many companies are opting to stick with XP rather than upgrading to the current Windows Vista operating system. In that sense, then, XP has become an alternative.
The demand for XP is prevalent enough that InfoWorld launched and has maintained a petition drive to keep XP on the shelves. Though executive editor Galen Gruman says Microsoft hasn't specifically responded to InfoWorld's effort, something is getting through to the powers-that-be in Redmond.
According to Half Life Source:
Microsoft Corp. CEO Steve Ballmer said that the company really does listen to its customers and that [if] those customers want to extend the shelf life of its Windows XP operating system, then Microsoft will consider that extension.

the trees and river
exchanging colors
from turd to turd
how simple the lives
of these flies
Early but ...
harvest moon
my backdoor
gathers leaves
lowering clouds
a hawk
drops to its prey
__I love the: -trees and the river exchanging colors-.
__I may have missed things, but have you ever posted any of your haiku and fine paintings as haiga?
in this cool ponds night
a goose calls
I like the flies, and it's good to see your back door again.
Hi Warren,
Check out my recent haiga to fit the 1st haiku. It may be a river where you are, but it is a pond near us.
Hi Bill - We've got four dogs that make good use of our back yard, and far too many flies that make good use of what the dogs leave behind. It simply smacked of a rather off-shade haiku. Thanks!
Adelaide - Love your haiga, and that gorgeous graphic. We haven't got much in the way of real fall colors, just hints. Thanks.
Mag - I answered your question in an email - I'm assuming you got it. Thanks very much for your comments, and love the haiku!
Warren... that "round-about" was certainly worth while! {Ooooh, that 53 seconds I used! Wow! ;<)}
__Loved'em all, but one that stood out, in my eye and mind, as the most grand.
Your painting and your words:
- autumn evening
- a crow crosses the sun
- and then the moon
Thanks, War!
Great minds . . . I too like this one the best. Saw it one evening - the crow flying through the setting sun and then the rising moon. Perhaps not an unusual occurrence but struck me as a good haiku. Thanks, Mag.
like them all the harvest moon is my favourite
much love...
HI Gillena - Thanks for stopping by and your comments. You're a jewel.

Weddings are one of the most special occasions not only for the bride and the groom but also for the family and close friends. Girls love the attention they get when they become bridesmaid to the bride. However, most women are most enthusiastic about their beautiful bridesmaids outfit. Yes, every bridesmaid deserves to look beautiful and feel special. To add to her beauty, she would need a beautiful bridesmaid dress. The dress type totally depends on her body type and styling sense.
Simple and elegant dresses work best
The best kinds of bridesmaid's dresses are the ones that are flowy and simple. The simple dresses made with good quality fabric fits on well and complements the body. The cocktail dress type is more like a favorite dress type when women have to select a dress type for the occasion. The Bridesmaid Dresses in Melbourne CBD is famous for their fits and beautiful color options. All bridesmaids must come to select a common color for their dresses and look picture perfect.
Refer to websites to get an idea of latest trends
Women can browse the online websites and look through the dresses to know the current trends and the colors that are most often used for dresses. The color schemes play an important role. If it is a day wedding, light color tones look beautiful and the pictures come out well. On the other hand, dark and bold colors work well for the night events.
Look your best on the wedding day!

Of all places, I heard about the beautiful village of Wakefield while traveling through India. The crazy thing was, I didn't hear about it once, but twice, once from a complete stranger, and the other from a woman who I was working with on a project there. In both cases the conversation went a little like this:
Me: I'm moving to Ottawa in a few months.
Random People: Oh you should move to Wakefield, its a great little place full of wonderful shops, and restaurants in the most idealic setting, with a beautiful covered bridge. You'd love it!
This weekend was insanely gorgeous….the 20 degrees weather was more than a little troubling considering I had hoped to be finishing the last few trails of my ski challenge. Ah well, everyone else welcomed the heat and the sunshine, so I waxed my skis and said hello to spring – what better way than wandering through Wakefield, and brunch at Chez Eric.
Love it or Leave it: Love it, I do. A 25 minute drive from Ottawa, Wakefield feels like a world away. Its the perfect place to while your weekend away simply wandering. We actually got married at the Wakefield Inn, and I don't think we could have picked a more perfect location. The night before our wedding, Rob also discovered Chez Eric, a perfect, family friendly culinary gem , and one of very few restaurants in the area that I will return to time and time again. We hadn't planned on Chez Eric for Brunch…mostly because I had no idea that they offered brunch, but they do, and it is mighty delicious. Ok…I need to go on a little bit about how delicious it is, and how much of a gem this restaurant it. Oh, and did I mention, not only is the food, which they classify as modern Quebecois divine, but they are absolutely fun and family friendly. They even have a sandbox for the little ones to play in, not to mention an excellent patio. They source locally, and grow their own herbs and vegetables. They make as much as they can in house, and I guarantee you will taste the difference. Their homemade butter is divine!
Frugality Index: Of course it doesn't cost you a penny to wander through Wakefield, and don't forget to check out the covered bridge (Rob does not understand my obsession about them, but they are so quaint and pretty, I find them gorgeous arching over rivers. Brunch at Chez Eric will likely set you back $10-$15 dollars. Rob enjoyed a meal called "the hangover" which included Eggs Benny on Pulled Pork; and came complete with the best Caesar either of us had ever tasted. I had a wonderfully delicious lemon chicken club with fresh cheese curds. Check out Chez Eric at http://www.chezeric.ca
Family Fun: There are lots of things to do in Wakefield – normally a handsome steam engine makes the trip from Hull, and watching it turn at the end of the tracks is fun for the whole family. Unfortunately, some problems with the track in the last year or two has made the service intermittent. Otherwise, there are so many neat shops and cafes that just wandering down the main street will keep you happy for hours. Don't forget to check out the pretty covered bridge on the north end of town, or sit by the river side and just enjoy the laid back pace of life.
Hours: Wander Wakefield at any time day, or night. But, if you are hungry, click here for Chez Eric's hours: http://chezeric.ca/english/info.htm. I've never made it to the Blacksheep Inn, but this is a local legend for great bands and musical performances.
Five Favourite Facts:
- Covered bridges are used to protect wooden bridge structures, as an example, a bridge built entirely out of wood, without any protective coating, may last 10 to 15 years. Builders discovered that if the bridge's underpinnings were protected with a roof, the bridge could stand for 70 or even 80 years.
- Wakefield Quebec was one of the first villages to be established along the Gatineau River and was founded in 1830 by mainly Irish immigrants. The town grew largely thanks to the lumber industry
- Chez Eric subscribes to the "slow food" movement. Slow Food is an international movement founded by Carlo Petrini in 1986. It was promoted as an alternative to fast food and strives to preserve traditional and regional cuisine and encourages farming of plants, seeds and livestock characteristic of the local ecosystem
- The original covered bridge at this site was constructed in 1915 and was destroyed by fire in 1984. The current bridge is quite recent, having been completed in 1997
- Apparently, many covered bridges in Vermont were considered to be great venues for boxing rings….would love to know if a boxing match ever took place at the Wakefield Bridge!

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How many hours a week are needed to do the assignments?
This will vary depending on your academic ability. This is a full-time course, and the average student will need to spend around 20 hours a week during the 40 weeks of the course each year, made up of course contact hours, home assignments and supervised practicum. Students who have little or no post-secondary school training experience may need to spend more time initially to develop their reading and study skills.
As you become more familiar with the requirements of the assignments, it gets easier and faster. Should the study commitments prove to be a burden; a safety net can be negotiated in the form of flexible learning.
Can someone who hasn't studied for years do the course?
It is certainly possible. We have had a number of students in the past who were out of touch from studies but were able to satisfactorily complete the course. A detailed student handbook, which is given out at the start of the course, will explain all you need to know about assignments. Moreover, aifc staff are always available to help you with the academic requirements.
Can someone with a very demanding job and a large family complete the course?
Classroom activities are limited to three-day intensive training seminars at the beginning of each of the four terms and a one-day seminar at the end of the last term. This means it is possible for candidates to carry on with their vocation while attaining counselling competence. In the past, students have managed their family and work commitments while completing the course.
However, you need to allow enough time to do justice to the assignments, and you should be confident of setting aside two to three hours a day to satisfactorily complete the course assignments. Priorities have to be set in order to satisfactorily do the course without inflicting stress on you or your family.

If you'd like to provide updated information and do not have access to directly edit, please contact the site admin; thanks!
rsx_page_number [original]
Offers the following tags to display page numbers on article list pages: rsx_page_number, rsx_last_page_num, rsx_page_number_nav, rsx_page_number_list
<rsx_page_number_nav />
This tag will print out a simple navigation widget, that will display arrows to the previous and next pages, and will also display the page number you are on, and the total number of pages. It will look something like:
<< Page 2 of 7 >>. Simple insert the tag
<rsx_page_number_nav /> on the page of form you wish the navigation widget to appear.
Optional: You can supply an attribute of newer to change the text used to link to newer pages. Similarly you can supply an attribute of older to change the text used to link to older pages.
The text generated is wraped in spans, that can be styled using css. There are three spans generated, rsx-nav-right, rsx-nav-left, and rsx-nav-middle.
<txp:rsx_page_number_list />
This tag will display a list of page number, that can be used to navigate your site, similar to a listing or search results from google — i.e a list like
1,2,3,4 ... 100, where the numbers are links to the appropriate page.
Optional: You can supply an attribute of delim to change the delimeter of each page number. Currently it is a ",". You can supply an attribute of windowSize to specify how many pages you would like to have visible in your list at a time.
The tag will generate an unordered list of page numbers. The best way to style such a list is with the following CSS:
ul.rsx-page-num-list li {
display: inline;
<txp:rsx_page_number />
This tag will display the page number associated with the page currently being displayed by textpattern. Simply insert the tag on a page or form where you wish to display the page number.
Optional: You can supply an attribute of offset to add some amount to the current page number. For example, you could use this tag in combination with the
<txp:newer> to display the page number you are linking to:
<txp:newer> page <txp:rsx_page_number offset="-1" /> </txp:newer> . (I am not so sure if this is a useful feature or not. Nevertheless it is there.)
<txp:rsx_last_page_num />
This tag will display the last page number in an article listing. Simple insert the tag
<txp:rsx_last_page_num /> on a page or form template to view the last page number. This tag allows you to display something like "Page 1 of 3" by using the code
Page <txp:rsx_page_number /> of <txp:rsx_last_page_num />.
Archived [?]: updated version: revised rsx_page_number

Hi, nice one indeed, thanks. However, using txp 4.0.5, there was a bug.
in rsx_page_number_nav you call older() and never() w/ a 1st arg of null. however these functions expect an array and don't check and array_diff and array_keys smoked. I changed the 1st arg in your calls to array() and viola.
but only in my copy, of course.
It's what I looking for

Children's Church
During the Sunday morning service right after the special music and before the morning message begins, children ages 3-8 can go to children's church. There, the children participate in an exciting time of fellowship and worship using an engaging curriculum that teaches Biblical truth though storytelling, hands-on activities, games, crafts and snacks.
A nursery is available during the entire worship service for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers.
Children in Action
Wednesdays, 7:00 p.m.
CAs is a mission group for kids in grades 1-5. The children learn about missions in our community, state, country, and the world. They learn about faith and are taught that God loves everyone. The kids are provided opportunities to participate in mission work and give to missions.

I am dreaming to be 'up north', specifically in Yorkshire, more specifically in North Yorkshire near the Moors.
I don't quite know why as it really seems silly when my feet at the moment are firmly planted in London. We have a home here, my parents are here and Mr P's job is here. There simply is no reason to up-root and move to somewhere completely unknown.
But I've been reading so much about life in Yorkshire at the moment. The latest Jack Sheffield 'Headteacher' book has been devoured, we've enjoyed cosying up on the sofa and catching up with the brilliant Last Tango In Halifax and so many of the fantastic blogs that I love to read are written by folk living in 'God's Own County.
In fact so much of my reading is about or by people from the county: my favourite author, Gervase Phinn comes from Yorkshire, I've just started reading James Herriot's All Creatures Great and Small and you can't beat a bit of Bronte, especially Wuthering Heights.
Then there's the weather. Although we've had snow in London, it never lasts for more than a couple of days. Then it melts, mixes with the grit and we end up with brown puddles. Yuck! I long for a window where I can look into the horizon and watch the changing seasons.
These are all dreams. I know it's not feasible at the moment or maybe even ever (Mr P is from a town near Bolton which makes him a sort of Mancunian-Lancastrian and I'm not sure how he'd feel about moving across the border!) but I do think that sometimes you need a little fantasy to keep you going, especially through the dull, dark winter months.
However, we've made a little step towards spending time in the county: we've booked our summer holiday! Yes, we've already made plans for August! We don't usually think about holidays so far in advance but this year I felt I needed an incentive to keep me motivated throughout the second half of my PGCE course.
So we've hired Ruby!
|Ruby's owned by the lovely people at Big Van Adventures
So while living in Yorkshire may just be a little fantasy, I can at least indulge myself with being there for a few, hopefully sunny days, and enjoy everything the county has to offer.
Some people dream of travelling to far flung places and I fantasise about being a couple of hundred miles up the M1; but I guess variety is what makes the world an interesting place!

A Therapeutic Approach to Reducing Contrast-Induced Nephropathy
RenalGuard Therapy® is designed to reduce the toxic effects that contrast media can have on the kidneys, which may lead to a reduction in the incidence of Contrast-Induced Nephropathy (CIN) in at-risk patients. This therapy is based on existing published literature, including the PRINCE study1, which support the theory that creating and maintaining a high urine output through the kidneys allows the body to rapidly eliminate contrast, reducing its toxic effects.
High urine rates may reduce the incidence of Contrast-Induced Nephropathy via a combination of known physiological factors, including:
RenalGuard Therapy entails the use of a physician-prescribed loop diuretic which may induce the required high urine output. RenalGuard System is designed to measure urine output and replaces it in real-time with an equal volume of sterile saline. This matched fluid replacement aims to minimize the risk of over- or under-hydration which can lead to increased patient risks.
RenalGuard has been shown in two investigator sponsored studies to significantly reduce the incidence of CIN when compared to the standard of care.
RenalGuard is CE-marked for the intended use of temporary (up to 14 days) replacement of urine output by infusion of a matched volume of sterile replacement solution to maintain a patient's intravascular fluid volume. The RenalGuard System is not intended for infusion of blood, blood components, medications, or nutritional fluids. All treatments administered via The RenalGuard System must be prescribed by a physician. RenalGuard Solutions, Inc. reserves the right to modify the specifications and features described herein, or discontinue manufacture of the product described at any time without prior notice or obligation.

DIY Deck Maintenance And Staining
More and more people these days like to stain their deck for some important reasons. It is important to know how to take care of your deck because it is almost the same as human beings. More and more people these days are becoming susceptible to sickness. This is because the weather these days is not very stable. It is important for people to know how to handle themselves when there is earthly crisis in order to prevent wearing out. It is not only human beings who experience this earthly crisis, but as well as sliding, wood decks and fences. This can happen when there is increase in the intensity of the sun and when there is bad weather condition. You have to be also aware of the deck's tendency to puff out and decrease its size.
The first thing you need to do in order to prevent this from happening is to keep its regular maintenance by Deck Staining Helotes TX.Aside from that, you need to make sure that you put some efforts in preserving the deck. Some of the things that can happen if there are no proper maintenance and preservation are growth of mildew, development and visible checks, cracks and raised grains. One of the reasons for this is to ensure that your deck will not decay.Aside from that, it can cause insect attacks if not preserve and maintain well.
This is important because if not done well, then there will be lots of repair sessions that are expensive. If there are damages to your deck at home, you would be spending lots of money and time to repair it. When it comes to restoring your deck at home, you need to consider these things in order to be restored. If you think these things are bothersome to you, then you need to make sure that you properly maintain and preserve your deck at home.
If you want to beautify your deck, the best thing you can do is to wash it down two times in a year. One of the reasons for this is to ensure that there are no mushrooms and molds to grow in your deck. Another thing you need to consider is to refinish your deck by using the right products for refinishing and staining it. You can also consult the experts from Interior Painting Boerne TX.
Experts would recommend that you use stains or semi-transparent oil when it comes to staining your deck. If you want to stain your neck, then consider also using latex toners. When it comes to using solid body latex, there is a tendency for your deck to peel.
If you are planning to refinish, stain and paint your deck, then you must have all the needed materials to use. Before you do it, you need to prepare.
The things you need are tarps, pressure washer, scrub brushes, brush, roller cover, bucket, frame, deck cleaner, pole, garden house, water or paint thinner.

Fair and Unbalanced
Littwin: This could be the end of Obamacare, and Cory Gardner's not feeling so good himself
Whatever else I've had to say about Cory Gardner over the years, I've never once said, or even thought, that he wasn't a shrewd and able politician. But now it may be time for a rethink.
I mean, is he really prepared to put his political career at risk by voting for an ill-conceived, ill-considered healthcare bill that is not only "mean," as Donald Trump has so eloquently put it, but is also wildly unpopular with voters across the country and certainly in Colorado?
Not surprisingly, he isn't saying. Gardner says he's "reviewing," which is either an attempt at looking thoughtful or a signal of real trouble for Mitch McConnell's bill. As I may have mentioned before, if good-soldier Gardner is a 'no' vote, there is no healthcare bill. And as I should mention now, good-soldier Gardner — not up for re-election until 2020 — is currently voting with Trump at a 95 percent clip.
This is a bill, though, that Republicans, including Gardner, are having trouble defending. And no wonder. As the estimable Sarah Kliff at Vox explains, the bill would require low-and-middle-income Americans to pay significantly more than they did under Obamacare in order to get far less. What they would get is higher deductibles, higher co-pays, higher premiums. And that may be the best that can be said for it.
The bill is a full-on assault on Medicaid, capping subsidies, limiting their growth and eventually causing millions to lose coverage. The losers here will be, uh, children, people in nursing homes, people with disabilities and on and on. You may remember that Gardner signed onto a letter voicing concerns about Medicaid, which covers 30 million children and two of three nursing home residents. It's hard to see how any of those concerns have been answered.
And it gets worse. The bill allows states to waive the essential-health-benefits provision that requires insurers to offer coverage for, you know, essential health benefits. It does get rid of the unpopular individual mandate but replaces it with absolutely nothing. That means young and healthy people are far less likely to be part of the pool helping to pay for older and not-so-healthy people.
Oh, and there's this: The bill also serves up a huge tax cut for the wealthy, to be paid for by—wait for it—cutting services for the poor. It is, as Democrats like to say, a massive wealth redistribution plan. Or as Elizabeth Warren puts it: "Blood money."
This bill, which is polling somewhere between 20 and 30 percent, could never possibly pass but for two things: Republicans have been promising to repeal and replace Obamacare for seven years, and Trump, who has no idea what's in the bill, thinks it would be humiliating not to pass something, even if it doesn't have "heart." So there it is, like it or not, and most people seem to be in the or-not camp.
The Senate version of Trumpcare is no better than the terrible House version of the bill that Trump celebrated in the Rose Garden before deciding it was too "mean." That's one White House moment, by the way, they do have on tape.
And not only is it a terrible bill, Republicans are pretty open about the fact, having drafted it in secret and refusing to hold any hearings. It was almost as if they were begging fake-news punditry to point out the irony that Republicans had complained for years that Obamacare had been rammed down their throats. Now, in the updated 2017 version of bill-ramming, you apparently do it while blindfolded.
So, what will Gardner do? He told The Denver Post's Mark Matthews that he doesn't understand why there's such a rush to get a vote on the bill, which is scheduled for late next week. That's an easy question to answer, of course. McConnell is rushing the bill because that's the only way it could pass.
You'd think that Gardner, who's definitely not in a hurry, would know that much since he was one of 13 senators assigned to craft the bill. But Gardner told The Post his role was actually limited to providing input, including, he said, helping to make sure that children with disabilities and certain other complications would be exempted from Medicaid limits. One problem with that. If Medicaid funds are limited, and they would be, that simply means some other child is necessarily excluded.
I'm not sure what to think about the bill's prospects. Republicans can afford to lose only two senators or the bill is dead. So let's put Gardner aside. Four senators from the right — Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Mike Lee and Ron Johnson — have withheld support so far, saying the bill is too much like Obamacare and therefore, in effect, not mean enough. I don't know if that's anything more than a bargaining ploy, although Paul is the most likely to defect. I'd bet strongly against the other three.
From the moderate end, Susan Collins sounds like a 'no,' but she often sounds like a 'no' and then votes 'yes.' Nevada's Dean Heller, who's up for re-election in 2018 and who is already considered vulnerable, has to be shaky. There are a few other moderates in play.
And Gardner? How much pressure would he have to feel before he'd defect, even in a blue-ish state, and vote to save Obamacare? OK, I can't imagine it either. We all remember Gardner's letter-waving opposition to Obamacare and the 50-plus times he has voted to repeal the law. The letter waving helped make him senator. The repeal votes were no more than show votes, though, with no chance of becoming law.
But this is the real thing. The stakes are real. The pressure is real. The potential human cost is real. The CBO's scoring of the House bill estimated 23 million people would be made to lose their insurance. It's just that real. The CBO score of the Senate bill is due early next week, and the losses will again surely be in the many millions. That's all that's at risk, which is why you can be sure Gardner will still be reviewing up until the moment he has to actually cast his vote.

As one of the Senators assigned to craft the bill, his role was "limited to providing input"? Has he really been rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic since April? He should either be thought of as highly culpable and held accountable for despicable actions or thought of as highly ineffectual and held accountable for incompetence. Periodically searching the Congressional Record for "Gardner" over the last six months and reading how strongly he supports Senator McConnell and President Trump, I have to believe the former.

Keep calling his office and get your friends and family to do the same. Write a letter to the editor. Park yourself and a group of people outside his office and alert the press. No matter what keep after him. I live in Maryland and we have 2 democratic senators who will vote no. I personally have a republican representative who is apart of the Freedom Caucus. We are on him like white on rice. We need to keep the heat on these people, otherwise this legislation will slip through like the house bill did :(

"Hiding news that doesn't fit an ideological or a partisan agenda is perhaps the worst form of media bias. And it's one more reason the public holds the press is such low esteem." – Investor's Business Daily
"(Mr. Trump) won't be president. He was sliding in the polls before the video, and the video now means that he has no way to climb back. Which independent voter, which suburban woman, which Main Street Republican on the fence is going to vote for Trump now?" – Mike Littwin
It was an historic week for Mr. Littwin . The level of candor he displayed in both his June 21st ("Dems wonder when Trump Effect kicks in and they stop getting kicked in the teeth") and June 23rd columns ("This could be the end of Obamacare, and Cory Gardner's not feeling so good himself")was startling. No obfuscating, no equivocating, no spinning and absolutely no attempt to put lipstick on a pig. His resounding and unambiguous analysis of the results in Georgia's 6th Congressional district special election was straightforward, honest and ignored nothing, "Don't fall for the spin. Karen Handel's five-point win in the Georgia special House election was a crushing defeat for Democrats".
Mr. Littwin's observation about a "strange odor coming from the White House" was a little unfair. It took eight years for that swampy smell to permeate the entire White House and no one could realistically expect President Trump to air it out completely in less than six months.
The 24/7 mainstream media attacks on President Trump's relationship with Russia based upon nothing more than innuendo and leaks serves only to strengthen our president's support. There's also this from thehill.com
"Frustrated Democrats hoping to elevate their election fortunes have a resounding message for party leaders: Stop talking so much about Russia."
But here's the real shocker: Mr. Littwin complimented—-that's right, complimented—-Senator Gardner calling him "a shrewd and able politician". What's going on here?
Mr. Littwin's candor even extended to Republican efforts to repeal and replace Obamacare. He made no this-bill-could-never-pass prediction, and no if-this-bill-passes-Democrats-will-regain-control-of-the-House forecast. Mr. Littwin actually admitted—-and I hope you're sitting down—-"I'm not sure what to think about the bill's prospects". Seriously, he really said that!!
Has Mr. Littwin had an epiphany? Did Mr. Littwin actually write these columns? Has Mr. Littwin (gasp) mellowed? Has Mr. Littwin embraced reality?
I don't know but it's very refreshing and long overdue. Well done, Mr. Littwin!

Gardner's waffling is fascinating.
If he wants time to consider, he should make it clear that he will join with other Senators to insist on more than the 10 hours of debate that Sen. McConnell has set.
If he was sincere earlier this year about the protection of Medicaid and Medicare populations, he needs to clarify if his advice was taken and incorporated into the bill or not. I've been on a limited media diet for a couple of weeks, but I have yet to see there is a credible and politically viable transition plan that would allow Colorado and other states to maintain Medicaid support at current levels.
When even the Denver Business Journal is printing "Opinion: AHCA is a bad deal for America," you know there's a substantial problem with the legislation. Perhaps Sen. Gardner will hear enough objections from Republican viewpoints to justify at least a delay for substantial debate and amendments. Enough wavering, and perhaps we will not have a vote this next week after all.

Not everyone loves when their mother buys clothes for them, but no ugly Christmas sweater could be as embarrassing as this T-shirt given to one Twitter user by her mother.
Katie, an 18-year-old from the UK, tweeted that her mom picked her up a Vivienne Westwood t-shirt with what looked like a gold pattern covering it. But if you look closer, you will see that the pattern is actually a bunch of cartoon people having sex.
Katie does have a theory that her mother bought the t-shirt (which retails for about $85) on purpose. She told Mashable, "I think she secretly knew and was just trying to wind me up but every time she looks at the shirt she just laughs hysterically." That's one expensive joke.
When all was said and done, Katie still decided to wear it because, let's be real—it's a really cool shirt.

So, if you haven't caught on, I love upcycling! Check out one of my previous upcycling adventures Here!
Most of the items I upcycle come from the Christian resale store or Goodwill! You'd be surprised at some of the awesome stuff you can find in there!
Today I went in there, not looking for anything in particular, just hoping to find something that had potential, and boy did I!
Here was my cart as I prepared to pay:
As you may know, I design/decorate/ paint tons of crosses and sell them through my Etsy shop, so this wood is an awesome score for me! Here lately, I haven't done such a great job of keeping up with it, but I'm sure I'll jump back in to the swing of things here soon! There are two of the tin stars that I've been eyeing at Hobby Lobby! Now, I can paint them whatever colors I want, and not feel guilty about it all because they were less than $3 each!
Not pictured:
I thought this little box thing was cute! It'd be even better with a couple mason jars stuffed with...
DRIED WHEAT! (that was $1.50!)
Overall, I am so happy with my random finds, that I spent less than $25 on! And I really can not wait to decorate them!
|Here's all three that I bought... Kinda wishing I would have bought the remaining two that I left at the store...
|Here's my stars! They have awesome detailing, cant wait to fix 'em up!
Check back soon to see what I do with all of this "junk!"

Re-invention is key if agencies are to survive
Tomorrow's consumers will be increasingly hard to reach over the next ten years so agencies will need to re-invent themselves to adapt. This is according to a new IPA report that has just been published (2nd January 2007) 'The future of advertising and agencies: A 10-year perspective', which has looked at the future shape of the advertising industry. The IPA has worked with the Future Foundation, a global strategic consultancy and think tank, on this report.
This is the first time that a fully comprehensive overview of the total commercial advertising marketplace has taken place. The IPA, along with the Future Foundation economics and modelling team, was able to cross-correlate Advertising Association Data with published information from the Bellwether Report, the Direct Marketing Association, the Institute of Sales Promotion and the Interactive Advertising Bureau.
The report prescribes that as non-traditional areas of marketing communications activity grow it is incumbent upon agencies to either invade this space or face a shrinking business future. The majority of the IPA's members are optimistic about their ability to grapple with the future. However the overriding message of the report is that of a wake-up call to agencies who need to get to grips with emerging trends or else see commercial advertising begin to decline.
Says Andrew Walmsley, Founder and Chairman of I-Level: "In the last few years we've seen quite staggering amounts of change, change in the way that consumers can see the media, can see the product, and changes in the way that the economics of markets operate. These are really quite fundamental shifts, and they're not going to go backwards. If anything they are accelerating."
Re-classifying the industryTo create a more meaningful picture of the industry going forward the IPA and the Future Foundation have attempted to re-classify all marketing communications to better reflect the present and future dimensions of advertising. The report proposes a move away from historic definitions such as 'above the line' and 'direct' to newer, broader definitions. These include 'named' (or 'personalised' for example DM) versus 'not-named' (for example TV), 'screen' (for example TV, mobile) versus 'non-screen', (press, radio etc) 'two-way' (interactive) versus 'one-way' (passive). (
The new world orderIn the future agencies must recognize that traditional advertiser/agency/consumer relationships will be challenged with new models of engagement coming to the fore. As traditional advertising continues to decline, by 2016, the hypothesis is that media owners of all kinds, including online search, all networks, gaming environments and interactive digital TV, will be integrating brands directly into content and editorial. Moreover, savvy consumers will be taking increasing control of content and the directional flow of interactions. Agencies will not just be competing with other agencies. Allies may become competitors, consumers may become channels, advertisers may become suppliers and agencies may become media owners. Already, consumers are creating their own forms of advertising, free of commercial imperative in the form of social networking sites. Already, media owners are already bypassing agencies to develop advertiser funded content through their own creative departments.
The advertising model of the futureThus the report has proposed three scenarios for the advertising model of the future, which were the result of a number of workshops with senior agency management that took place earlier this year. Who will be in the driving seat? Agencies, media owners or consumers? Whoever it is will have a tremendous impact on the growth or decline of commercial advertising. By 2016 if agencies continue to be in charge then commercial advertising will grow by an average 4.6% per annum, if its media owners it will only grow by 2.3%. The worst scenario for agencies will be if advertising becomes consumer led whereby commercial advertising will only grow by 1.2% per annum. This last scenario suggests agencies have no room to be complacent and must start to capitalise on emergent new opportunities.
New roles for agencies This report indicates that by 2016 traditional advertising will shrink at the expense of consumer-influenced content and brand–influenced editorial so agencies will need to both innovate and evolve into new territory. New freedoms in the delivery of content, data and channels will provide new business opportunities whilst still maintaining the overriding focus on brand creation and development. Agencies will need to take on multiple roles such as:
-agency as media brand owner-agency as joint venture partner-agency as content collaborator-agency as programme producer-agency as network creator-agency as data provider-agency as data aggregator
If agencies don't take these opportunities there will be tremendous implications in terms of their relationships with clients, their remuneration packages and their very existence.
Says David Pattison, IPA President and Chief Executive, PHD Worldwide:"During my time as IPA President, I have talked a lot about 'putting the business back into the ad business'. While this is very appropriate for the short and medium term, long term planning is also essential if we are to maintain our world leading position"

After her son with Down syndrome was excluded from a birthday party, a Canadian mom took to Facebook to share their story.
Jennifer Kiss-Engele, of Langley, British Columbia, posted the open letter Friday on Facebook, addressing the parents who intentionally invited all 22 other classmates to the party. Sawyer, 9, was diagnosed with Down syndrome when he was one month old and underwent open heart surgery to correct a defect at 19 months old, according to Kiss-Engele's blog.
"I know it's not because he's mean, you couldn't meet a happier child. I know it's not because he's not fun, he has a great sense of humour and an infectious laugh. I know it's not because your child and him don't get along, he's brought up your child's name on several occasions. The only reason why you decided it was OK to not invite my son to your child's birthday party is because he has Down Syndrome," the mother of three wrote.
In the post, Kiss-Engele invites the unnamed parents to get to know her son better and speaks of the close bond between her children.
"Having a brother with Down Syndrome has helped shape them into compassionate individuals who know that just because you may be a little different that others, that it's OK. They are not afraid to help when they see someone struggling," she wrote.
Kiss-Engele invited the parents to talk and posted an update that the parent read her letter, spoke to their child and the child created a special birthday invite for Sawyer.
"Of course he's been beaming ever since and can't stop talking about it," she wrote in the update, which has over 11,000 likes.

Richard Grenell, an American media commentator and the longest serving U.S. Spokesman at the United Nations, said that, revelations unveiled by Breitbart Senior editor Peter Schweizer in his bombshell book Clinton Cash were "actually quite shocking."
In a spellbinding week of interviews, media reports, and articles about the book, New York Times, Washington Post, Reuters and Fox News exposed that the Clinton Foundation was receiving huge amounts of cash from foreign governments, while Hillary was the acting Secretary of State.
Grenell, an eight year state department veteran, told Breitbart News Sunday guest host, senior writer, Matthew Boyle, that the state department has rules every employee has to follow, when it comes to receiving gifts or even meals. "It's shocking that we are talking about millions of dollars that has gone to the Clinton Foundation, when Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State," he said. By deleting 30,000 emails from her private server breeds further suspicion of Hillary, sugested Grenell.
The frequent Fox News contributor told listeners to the show, on Sirius XM Patriot radio channel 125, that what Hillary Clinton classified as private emails, "clearly was private information dealing with the Clinton Foundation."
Unfortunately, because of Clinton's email deletions, Grenell speculates that Americans may never really "get to the bottom of all of the dealings that Hillary Clinton had while Secretary of State." The spokesperson for four different U.S. Ambassadors remains baffled why no one at the State Department spoke up during Hillary's time as Secretary and alerted someone about Hillary Clinton's dealings.
Grenell explained that Hillary had a closely knit coterie of colleagues surrounding her at the state department. He suggested that an oversight committee could investigate them and their correspondences with Secretary Clinton. "I think we could actually uncover some of where her people, or even Hillary Clinton, did the bidding for certain governments or certain policies that could be easily linked back to donations to the Clinton Foundation," he asserted.
The Breitbart News Sunday guest reminded listeners about the Clintons:
This is a couple remember, that we know sold access to the White House Lincoln bedroom to donors. We know this happened the last time they were in the White House. Now we see hundreds of millions of dollars that the Clinton Foundation raised because the Secretary of State happened to be named Hillary Clinton. Why would we even take the risk of trying to elect this person to office… every American should be clamoring with outrage saying this person is not fit to run.

Manzac d'en Bas, Ariège, France
Manzac d'en Bas is a 160-year-old former farm set in the tranquil countryside of the Ariège in south-west France, halfway between Toulouse and the Pyrenees.
The house, swimming pool and recently renovated farm buildings are all south-facing and have outstanding views of the Pyrenees.
Owners Giles and Louise Nevill have been hosting painting holidays and artist retreats here since 2008 and began a programme of photography workshops with visiting tutors in 2014.
The three spacious, self-catering "gites", called "L'Écurie" (The Stable), "Le Logement" (The Dwelling), and "La Grange" (The Barn) after their original uses, combine traditional charm with comfort and modern amenities.
The gites will sleep up to four, six and eight respectively. There is added flexibility of being able to accommodate groups of up to 20 / 21 adults/children. Manzac d'en Bas is almost unique in the Ariège in this respect, and makes it an ideal location for specialist courses, such as photography, painting, cycle touring, writing, language training or yoga retreats etc.
Each gite has its own private outdoor terrace, but there is ample communal space, should all the gites be taken by a single booking.
